Els HEROINE.
The Reward of a Poor and Talented
Playwright.

1EG Reward Oh q POOr ana VaIente0
Playwright.
My heroine. Beautiful? All, so beauti-
full! And grand in the majesty of all that
grace and beauty define. 1 see her now,
as On the eve of calm and tranquil day in
June first sat at my window in the twi-
light and saw the form of this, one Of Gods
own chosen beings, fit from the house over
the way and pass up the crowded thorough
fare, leaving in her wake as she faded
from sight, the spirit of some forgotten
dream. Pearl Lear. the name Of this sweet
noble girl, blends in my heart tenderest
recollectionS and reverence.
She was the child of banker whose fame
stamped him popular man of the world
while her mother was lovely matron of
refinement and worth Her face, though
slightly tinged with pride of birth, was
bright as the summer sunshine radiant and
enchanting in its outline, intellectual in its
exquisite mould. As beheld this tall and
dignifed child of nature turn from view l
murmured: He who maketh things well
showeth his handiwork."
Presently scream rent the air. The
lazy idlerS Strolling along the thOroughfare
pushed into one sudden mass and rolled
into line to the scene from whence the
cry bame. A collision had blocked the
street on Broadway near Grace church, and
amid the rabble the form of a man lay
crushed beneath the wheels of a passing
vehicle which had colliued with the tram
way, Immediately unrailing it, and which
now lay wrecked in the midst of a seething
crowd.
Back Give the man more air" cried a
dozen voices.
Yet, hndeeding their own appeal, the
crowd grew denser about the unfortunate.
Pearl Lear, like the Samaritan of old. was
there and knelt by this stranger, smoothing
back the matted tresses from which stream
of dripping red oozed upon the ground-the
life blood Of man who had thrown himself
before her, and, like flash, saved her from
danger and perhaps death.
Brave, noble boy!'' she whispered.
A glad, happy smile was his only re-
spouse.
''Oh, tell me-, she hastily pleaded, "whc
are you-what can What shall do?
I FOUR name-your home-tell me quickly,
implore you!"
But swifter than words the ambulance
broke into the crowd and bore him from hel
sight.

The Bicycle Tournament.

The bicycle races at Washington rink
were SHINY attended last night. For the
twenty-lniie star race there were four ell
tries: Collie Bell, H. B. Harrington, Frank
Rout and Harry Blaine. The men were
started even, but only two of them finished.
Rout broke spring and Blaines little
wheel stuck. thus compelling them to stop.
The race was good one, but Bell was too
fleet for his competitor and won in hour
and SO seconds. The fve-mile amateur
bicycle race was contested by Henry
Schroeder, Elmer Savage and Hale.
Hale was not equal to the other
men, between whom the race
was very close, who were together
throughout the race. Schroeder took the
lead OH the sixth lap of the last mile and
held it to the finish, which he made i'll 16
minutes As seconds. In the twenty
mile professional race Shock. Morgan and
Eek started, Woodside failing to put i'll an
appearance. In the start Shock was given
$50 yards start and Morgan 22O yards.
This put the brunt of the work on Eek.
The race proved farce. Shock retiring on
the third mile because of a loose handle.
Morgan Quit on the fifth mile and Eek
finished seven miles. After a two-mile Star
race by two amateurs, those of the small
audience who desired danced during the re-
mainder of the evening.

n
lations.
Holiday week is never a great ''society'
season. True, a great many social events
transpre, and everybody feels particularly
kind toward everybody else, but it is ''"t a
time of great receptions, and ''afternO 49,
and things like that. Holiday week is a
time dear to the home circle, and, many as
are the entertainments of the short season,
they are usually small gatherings of friends
family dinners, to which the
whole relation is asked, or happy
little teas, where a large company
would completely destroy the precious con-
fidential air that makes them so delightful:
and then there are, during the holiday
week, innumerable parties, at which even
three were one too many-holiday week is
wonderfully prolific OF that sort of parties
and they are of the most intense interest
along about the last minute of the year.
But such affairs are not even recognized by
society as being ''events," even though a
great many important social consequences
hinge upon the way they are conducted.
Society will become gay forthwith.
She has kept a back seat while
the household gods were being wor-
SHIPPED and now her minionS turn again to
the shrine they most adore. and the gay
social world will be merry until the season
of penitence arrives. just what the ''event
of the week" will be is not yet announced,
and it may be that it will require seven
whole days to recuperate from the family
pleasures just past. Christmas Is hard
season on society people, and those of them
who keep up the good fashion of receiving
| their friends on New Years day must per-
force, rest after the ardent duties of the
time. So, maybe, social circles will be
| quiet. 1t will do no harm to say so, any
how, and if big party does come, it will
be the more welcome because unexpected.

/. Holly, Mich, March %. The Methodist
church was completely filed with a large
crowd of citizens last night who had assem-
bled to listen to an address on the prohibition
amendment question. The speaker, VI. A.
Taylor, Of Lansing, had proceeded with his
subject but short time, when it was discov-
cred that the church was on fire. At
the alarm the people made rush
for the doors, and o scene OF confusion at
once ensued. Several ladies tainted in the
excitement, and panic seemed imminent.
This, however, was ayerted, and the room
was emptied without serious injury to any
Of the audience.
The fire was caused by lighted ball OF
rags soaked In kerosene, which some mis-
creant threw under the church door after the
audience had gathered. The flames we're ex-
tinguished with but slight damage to the
building A vigorous effort viii be made to
hunt the incendiary down. It is charged
that anti Prohibitionists are at the bottom Of
the diabolical plot, but Of course this is mere
guess work

DOES the victim of strong drink ever
stop to think who is his best friend?
If he does he will certainly be convinc-
ed that it is the friend Of local-option.
He knows your weakness and would re-
move the temption. But not 50 with
the anti-temperance man, who cares
not how low you may fall 50 that he
may gain his object. In the liquor
mems circular we read that Drunken
ness is a crime against the laws Of man
and sin in the sightof Divine Justice"
and arguments favoring the punish
ment Of the drinker, but not word
against the saloon. They would thus
condemn and punish you in order TO
perpetuate the liquor traffic. They may
also offer You for your vote whiskey
enough to cause you to commit the
crime and sin above referred to. Let
those who have been led astray by an
appetite for strong drink, consult their
best interests, and vote, against the
saloon.

Mr.. Beecher's fondness for precious
stones which extended to the length
of carrying them about in his pock-
cts wrapped in paper, can be ex-
planned more easily than some of
his fancies. Actors and actresses,
operate singers, travelling conjnrers
and lecturers often wear jewels and
ornaments in quantities seemingly
quite disproportionate to their social
position. But the jewels represent
much money in small bulk. They are
as good as a travelling bank, and can be
hypothecated as occasion requires.

ways of the profession.

what it is made from?
We use a great many things that we
really knownothing about, and we never
stop to ask ourselves if we have any
knowledge of things we use daily. If
we made it practice to learn the ma
ture and mode of manufacture of COM
mon household articles, we would soon
become remarkably intelligent, well-in-
formed people. Here is description
of an indigo factory:
"Near the city of Allahabad, in India,
our missionaries may see the little indigo
plant growing, and the factory where
our indigo is prepared for use.
The following account of the prepa-
ration of the indigo from the plant was
given by the proprietor to one who
travelled in that country:
"It is the young shoots of the hum
BILE little plant which provides US with
the precious meterial for dyeing, and
not the flowers as is commonly supposed.
The gathering of these shoots is very
delicate operation. When they have
arrived at proper degree of maturity,
they must be speedily removed, and
each cutting must be executed with rap
idity, and during the night, for the sun
would wither the branches and deprive
them of their properties. We therefore
require great many hands; all the vii
lagos on my estate are placed in requisi-
ton. The workmen are all dispersed
in the fields at midnight, and in the
morning the produce of the harvest is
deposited in stone troughs, which have
previously been filled with water
Then is the time for the sun to perform
its part. Under the influence of its
rays the substance undergoes species
of fermentation the water becomes
colored with variegated tinges and rap
idly turns blue. After space of forty
eight hours the liquid is drawn off from
the smallest troughs. 1t now emits a
slightly ammoniacal smell, and the color
is almost black. 1t is allowed to evap-
crate again, and is then placed in
metal watts heated by steam, in which
when evaporation has ceased, deposit
of pure indigo is formed. 1t only re-
mains to dry this deposit, pack it and
send it to the market at Calcutta.

The wise boys and girls learn from
others experiences. They listen when
people older than themselves warn them
of possible dangers. The foolish boys
and girls are the ones who insist that
they know so much that they need not
learn more, or who think themselves so
sharp, so bright, that they can see the
obstacle that tripped others. The
Scientific american not long since pub
lished a paragraph entitled "Mistakes
of Life" The mistakes were summed
up as follows:
"It is great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong, and
judge people accordingly.
"To measure the enjoyment of others
by your own.
"To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
"To look for judgment and expert
ence in youth.
"To endeavor to mold alldispositions
alike.
"To yield to immaterial trifles.
"To look for perfection in our own
actions.
"To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied.
"Not to alleviate all that needs
alienation as far as lies in our power.
"Not to make allowances for the in
| firmities of others.
"To consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform.
"To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
"To expect to be able to understand
everything"
